Ministry of Education Aspire Scholarship for New Zealand Citizens, 2017

This scholarship has been extracted from the BEST GRANTS WEB: Grant Scholarship 2018 - 2018 =)

The Ministry of Education is pleased to announce a call for applications for its 2017-2018 Aspire Scholarship. New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident of New Zealand are eligible to apply for this scholarship.

The Aspire Scholarship has been designed for students from low-income families who would like to attend a New Zealand private secondary school.

Education.govt.nz is the new portal for education information in New Zealand, maintained by the Ministry of Education. The site is designed to help you find what you need about education in New Zealand. The main part of the site contains information organised around the three education stages: early learning, schooling, and further education. These sections contain a range of information and links to other sites and include general information, as well as more specialized topics for educators and administrators.

The scholarship does not cover boarding fees. If a student chooses to board at a private boarding school, families may use their $1,500 course related costs allowance towards the costs of boarding but are otherwise responsible for any boarding costs. The scholarship can only be used at New Zealand’s fully registered private secondary schools (also known as independent schools). It cannot be used at the state or state-integrated schools.
